We need a lot more info to help you here.
What are ALL your water numbers and lighting

Looks like the tissue is receding off the skeleton. Not good. Like twilliard said, give all the information you possibly can.

Did it look like that when you bought it? If I had to guess I would say that it took a nasty spill down the reef slope. The rocks ate it up.

Fungia/Plate corals do not tolerate tissue damage well. Even shipping can be detrimental.

As suggested though always trouble shoot water chemistry.

Got it 2 days ago. I have 165W LEDs.
All my parameters are perfect. I have a test kit check them every other day .

more details on "perfect". what test kits are you using? how old is your tank? other inhabitants?

I think I found the problem. To much water flow thinking it messed it up .

Most likely damaged in transport or handling. Heliofungias are very robust corals, but damage of this type tends to progress. You may lose a pie shaed slice from the edge to the mouth - or it may progress and the whole coral may go.

Bacteria and algae are your enemies now - if you have algae in the tank - move it to lower light or blue up the light for a bit...position it so that when it expands its tentacles cover (shade) that area and the wound is downstream - but don't move it anymore than you have to...if it begins to progress then an antibiotic or bacteriostatic may be something to consider. Even then - these can be tough to save.

Good luck - sorry to see this.
